She seems to read her opponent’s movements and counter in such... unusual ways.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elders stroked his beard, thinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s unlike anything I’ve seen in this arena... no, in this world. No one used that kind of martial arts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion laughed loudly, forcing the other elders to turn to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course! I’m the one who taught them to her, after all. Watch more and you’ll see just how strong my martial moves are.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder’s smirk deepened, but his eyes stayed sharp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... It is impressive. But even so, it’s still not enough to defeat both Larris and Elira together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion tilted his head, his grin never fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why’s that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder turned his gaze back to the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because they haven’t used their full power yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several elders nearby nodded in agreement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion chuckled again, shaking his head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heh. Neither has Dahlia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder blinked, his smirk faltering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What did you say?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion leaned forward, stretching his hands and grinning wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You think Dahlia is using all of her power? Of course not. She was still holding back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion pointed his finger at her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What you’ve seen is just the power when she became serious, and if she used her real power, the match is over in an instant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The grey-robed elder’s brows lifted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s true... then this match will be far more interesting than I imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion slapped the armrest, laughing hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting? You haven’t seen anything yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira pushed herself up slowly, one hand gripping her sword, the other pressing her pained stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch... Damn it. How can she be this strong? How did she even read my strike so easily when she doesn’t even see it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beside her, Larris stepped forward, steadying her with his thick arm. Then, his face frowned as he answered her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"From what I see, she doesn’t just rely on speed. She’s using her eyes and reflexes to guess our attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face frowned even more as he felt a bit shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the scariest part is that her hunches were all correct. She can easily guess based on our body movement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira’s eyes narrowed, hearing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If that’s the case, then any close-range attack will be useless against her. She’ll dodge or counter before it lands.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris nodded, but his brows stayed furrowed. Elira exhaled sharply, trying to think of something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems that I have no choice but to use that move, though I’m really reluctant to do so.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned back to Larris, her voice lower now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get ready! Use your strongest move when I give you the chance and finish it in one strike!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Larris tightened his grip on his axe and gave her a short nod, raising his axe high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He began to pour mana into his axe and his body, getting ready to use one strong final move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira steadied herself again, her sword glowing even brighter than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Across teh arena, Dahlia stood calmly, rolling her shoulders once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She rubbed her stomach with one hand before smirking at Elira, mocking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hurts, doesn’t it? Was my kick good?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira quickly frowned, her lips pressed thinner. Her stomach ached, but she lifted her chin high and answered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dahlia... I admit that you’re strong. Stronger than most here. But don’t think you can beat the two of us together with only this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She raised her glowing sword again, so painful to look at by other spectators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia dropped her hand from her stomach and lowered her stance one more, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then let’s see it. Let’s find out if your mouth... or your sword is sharper.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd erupted again, stomping their feet, chanting all three names, excited for the next closing battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira’s eyes locked on Dahlia as she tightened her grip on her glowing sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know you’re strong in close combat and know how to counter most of close ranged strikes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She stepped forward, grinning wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But how about this? Do you think you can block... or even counter this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her voice rang out across the arena as she unleashed her skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mirage Strikes!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia smirked, raising her fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As long as I can see it, it’s useless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira’s lip curved into a smirk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She slashed her sword once, clean and sharp. Then she slashed again, then again, repeatedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia’s smirk soon faded as she saw what was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each swing of her left behind a trail of light, thin arcs floating in the air as if they were solid blades.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One strike became two, then four, then eight, until Dahlia was surrounded by glowing slashes of light, all pointed toward her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gasped in shock seeing the current situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What hell is that skill?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are those even real?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia growled, shifting her stance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tch. Which one’s the real strike?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira chuckled softly, spinning her glowing sword one last time, mocking her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now... tell me, Dahlia. Which one can you dodge? Which one can you block?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elira stopped her sword, then pointed it at her, smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Choose wrong and the right sword will cut you down in an instant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dahlia clenched her fists, her eyes moving from one glowing arc to another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Damn it... If I guess wrong, I’ll be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back in the premium seats, Garion leaned forward, his eyes wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow... I never thought there was a skill like this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder smirked, folding his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now then, Garion... what do you think? Can Dahlia still win? If she chooses wrong, she’ll be finished.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the first time, Garion’s face turned into a frown, making the other elders grin wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So even he doubts her now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At last, some fear.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion exhaled slowly, then spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s true. This is hard... harder than I expected. But I believe in her. I know she can do this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gray-robed elder tilted his head, still smirking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I see. Confided until the end, huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion sat back, watching how Dahlia handled this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even though his face was frowning, his mind was grinning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heh! These old men really hadn’t realized it, huh? They never realized it from the start, and that’s the reason she won’t lose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Garion smirked in hiding as he kept watching the show.\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-06T11:12:18.261Z",1,"novelbin.me","5b04d8bec7e9fff582794c339999987e761c0334429bdcfe90b1c1f457cab191","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-288","heretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-chapter-287",613,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fheretic-trainer-the-gym-is-my-cultivation-method-cover.jpg"]
